We booked three tickets of the prime show i.e. 8:00 pm at PVR Select Citywalk. We reached there on time, but due to some technical problems the movie started half an hour late. And as a result we guys were pissed off as we are all antsy. Fortunately movie started & you guys won’t believe the very first dialogue of the movie if u guys remember “Life Ek Race Hai..........” grabbed our attention & impressed us so much that we knew right away that our friends were right & so started concentrating fully on the movie. Each & every phase of the movie was trying to teach us a lesson & we were trying to grab each one of them.
Well I won’t be going on sharing my thoughts on each & every phase of the movie but yes the only thing which I would like to highlight here is the moral of the whole story which depicts that one should not overshadow his/her PASSION to satisfy others’ (father, mother, uncle, friends etc.) expectations.
In my opinion I feel that everyone is born with a certain aptitude or talent. But how far it is developed and what becomes of it is determined by the amount of effort put into it and the interest in the area of talent. Does aptitude help determine whether you are able to be accomplished in occupations like computer programming? Why that one man or woman can draw or paint while another is lost when trying to do so? In music - why do some people have tuneful pleasant singing voices while others, the far majority I may add, sound terrible behind a mike?
Why do some learn to play a tune on an instrument in 5 minutes while others take ages to do the same? Why do some grasp difficult mathematical concepts with ease while others flounder and fail. Why is it that one man in America holds the all time record for new patents of inventions, a record which may never be broken.
All the above mentioned queries have only one word answer i.e. PASSION. It is only your passion about an activity which determines the potential level of success in that field or activity. And, it is the efforts and time you give to that passion which decides if you reach up to that potential. But it’s fortunate or unfortunate I really don’t know that we are never asked about our interests, passion; what we want to achieve in our life, which are the fields where we are the best or worst. I just don’t understand why our parents & society make their decisions almost as soon as we’re born & start thinking that we’ll grow up to be a doctor, software engineer or whatever they like. And by the time we actually start growing, we are forced by them to achieve their aim not our own.
One more thing I would like to add on here is that we are forced by some external forces to make our mindset so rigid or focussed to a particular field that we never come to overcome these. And gradually as the time passes we completely fail to know about ourselves, our interests, and passion & as a result fail to judge ourselves.
Today, there are so many friends of mine who do not know about their own interests much, they fail to know in which field they are the best & where they can achieve success in a short span of time as compared to the compelled job where they are not that good but do it because they need to do something to earn bread & butter. I feel one should wait for the right time & right opportunity for oneself. One should go on discussions with the experienced professionals who can judge one’s ability & let known their potentials so that one can take a right decision for a better & happier future.
At last I would like to recommend a poem “INVICTUS” composed by Late William Ernest Henley
"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."
I don’t want you to learn this poem & repeat everyday as a prayer. Through this I want to state that one should inculcate the gist of the poem in oneself & should start doing the things in his own way & style which leads one to a higher level of satisfaction in life.
START MAKING DECISIONS FOR YOURSELF..
